Abstract

A new approach in the management of carcinoma of the thoraco-abdominal oesophagus, by means of pre-operative chemotherapy, in the form of Methotrexate and irradiation, followed by a one-stage resection, using a thoracic/abdominal approach, is described. This resulted in a marked tumour regression without leading to difficulty with operative management.
